Chapter 27: Helplessness

The swirling bead curtain is over the powder wall, lighter than catkins and heavier than frost.

Xiyun got up early and just groomed me.

Looking at her busy figure behind me from the bronze mirror, I had never looked at her so closely. Suddenly, I noticed that Xiyun's delicate face made me look very comfortable.

She doesn't have the appearance of a captivating city, nor does she have a bewitching color, but the elegance that emanates from her surprises me.

The people in the palace can only maintain such a state of mind, and even Yulan has not been able to keep her original heart.

She smiled at me in the mirror, "Song Liu, I found that you are getting better and better." ”

I lowered my eyebrows and said nothing, she easily embedded a golden step into my sideburns, "This is a reward from the emperor yesterday, with you, it's really good." ”

I glanced up at her, reached out and took the golden step off, got up to face her, inserted it into her hair, and chuckled: "I think it's more worthy of you!" ”

She froze for a moment, and pouted embarrassedly, "How can I be worthy of this precious thing, don't torture me." ”

I don't agree with her words, "It is said that the Buddha relies on gold, and people rely on clothes, nothing is worthy or unworthy, besides, we Xiyun are also a beauty." ”

She didn't think so, just chuckled.

"Recently, the queen has always deliberately made things difficult for you, but you still go to greet you on time every day. In my opinion, the emperor loves you so much, you don't have to go through the Qifeng Palace every day, go and see that person's face. She said suddenly.

I looked at her, but before she spoke, she immediately lowered her head, "I said the wrong thing again." ”

"Let's go!" I stared out the door and pursed my lips.

She stepped forward and took me by the arm, and went out with me out of the temple gate.

As soon as he left the Guanju Palace, he saw Yulan standing directly opposite the palace gate.

Thinking of what she said to her yesterday, she didn't report any hope, but she didn't expect her to really come.

There was no palace maid by her side, and her dress seemed hasty, thinking that she had only decided to come this morning.

But I was still very relieved and walked towards her, "Yulan, my sister thinks that you won't come." ”

She showed a faint smile, "These days, Yulan has accompanied her sister to Qifeng Palace every day to ask for peace, and she can't be left alone today." ”

Secretly happy, I kept laughing, and then moved forward, and she naturally followed me.

When he arrived at Qifeng Palace, he learned that Empress Dowager Mu was not in good health today, so Han Xiaoyang went to Cishou Palace to visit him very early.

After sitting in the main hall for nearly two hours, the dragon well that the palace maid made for us had already been cool, but Han Xiaoyang still hadn't returned to the palace, and when he was about to leave, the nurse of Qifeng Palace looked panicked and hurriedly hugged the little prince who had been crying and rushed out, "Prince... Your Highness has a fever, you... You guys... Hurry up... Please come over..."The tone was so anxious that she couldn't even speak clearly, thinking that what she was holding in her arms was the future emperor, if there was anything wrong, she must have come to see her, so I wasn't too surprised by her current look.

Walking to the nurse's side, I said lightly: "The child will inevitably have a small illness and pain, and the nurse does not need to worry." ”

Only then did she notice me, her face darkened a lot, and she quickly leaned down, "Slave maid to Concubine Chen's mother." ”

I always wore a faint smile, "The nurse doesn't have to be polite, come, give me a hug." ”

She looked at me suddenly, as if there was something wrong with my words, and her expression became more and more flustered, but she didn't mean to let me hold the child.

"Concubine Chen's words, didn't you hear clearly?" Xiyun shouted dissatisfiedly on the side.

The nurse looked at me for a while, and then tremblingly handed over the child in her arms, I reached out to take it, but the child was crying so badly, the two little faces were red, touched the forehead, it was indeed very hot, Emei frowned, I then ordered: "Hurry up and announce the imperial doctor, the little prince is burning badly, the nurse will go to Cishou Palace, and invite the queen mother back, hurry up!" ”

As soon as I said that, the minions and palace maids of Qifeng Palace were all in a mess.

Although he was born by Han Xiaoyang, he has always been a child of Liuyun, and now he has been named the crown prince, how noble his identity is, if there is any mistake, I am afraid that the entire minions of Qifeng Palace will not be able to escape.

Yulan looked at me for a long time before she said softly: "Sister, you've been hugging me for a long time, your arm should be sore!" It's better to let Yulan hug! ”

Seeing her motherly look, I didn't think much about it and handed the child over.

Feeling a little tired, I sat down on the wooden bench and looked at Yulan coaxing the child, which only made me feel that Yulan would also be a good mother.

Looking back at Xiyun again, she had been staring at Yulan with a different kind of eyes, I pulled her sleeve and gave her a look, and she reluctantly retreated outside the hall to wait.

When I looked back at Yulan again, I didn't hear the child's crying again, I smiled, "Yulan was born to be a good mother, you see that the little prince cries whenever he hugs him, and he is only quiet in your arms." ”

She kept her back to me, didn't speak, didn't turn back.

Strangely, I called her again, but she still didn't respond.

I abruptly got up from the wooden bench, took a few steps forward, and walked around to her, "What's wrong with you?" ”

She smiled coldly, glanced at me, and lowered her eyebrows at the child in her arms, "How can Han Xiaoyang have a son." Sister, her son does not deserve to be crowned prince. ”

When she said this, I was stunned and felt very wrong, so I immediately snatched the child from her hand and protected it in my arms.

Yulan suddenly laughed a few times, her voice was so cold that I couldn't help but tremble, after stopping laughing, she was looking at me, and her words were cold, "If the little prince dies, what do you say will happen to Han Xiaoyang!" ”

I stared at her in amazement, then looked at the child, and found that the two red-faced faces were already pale, and I felt bad, so I asked her sharply, "What happened to the child?" ”

She took a few steps back in a daze, and the sneer on her face made me scared for a long time, and then she muttered, "I... Kill... Finish... He! ”

Suddenly looking at her, I was startled for a long time before I came back to my senses, and quickly probed the child's snort. In an instant, I felt that my brain was hit hard, and it was blank in an instant, and I stepped back in a daze with the child.

I couldn't stop trembling violently, and I stretched out my fingertips, which were also shaking, to Yulan, "You... You killed the child... How can you..."

She looked at me with a blank face, and I couldn't believe that Yulan would do something to a child.

In an instant, I sat down on the ground with weakness all over my body, and I stared at the child in my arms who had long been out of breath with tears in my eyes, crying: "How can you do it to such a young child, how can you!" He has no deep hatred with you, how can you do it! ”

Yulan was still the same, and then said fiercely: "His mother owes me, he should pay it back!" ”

I finally couldn't stop crying, but I couldn't do anything about it. I actually, I actually handed over the child to Yulan, and actually let the child be killed by Yulan in front of my eyes.

Hot tears poured in, and my whole heart was numb and full of regret.

Xiyun heard my cry, so he ran in from outside the hall, looked at me sitting on the ground holding the child crying, his eyes sank, and rushed to me and squatted down, "What's going on, Niangniang!" The tone was as anxious as fire.

I let tears overflow my eyes one by one, "Xiyun, the little prince is dead... He's dead..."

Xiyun's eyes widened in shock, and then he looked down at the little prince I was carrying, and his trembling hand probed between the child's snorts, and suddenly withdrew his hand, "This... What's going on... The little prince is fine... It's only a blink of an eye... How..."

I raised my eyes to look at Yulan, who was always expressionless, and asked her over and over again, "Why are you doing this, why..."

Xiyun looked at Yulan suddenly, got up and rushed to her, at that moment, she forgot her identity and yelled at Yulan angrily: "It's you!" Right! It has to be you! ”

Yulan evoked a faint smile at this time, stared at me and slowly spit out words: "Sister, you have always wanted to make up for me, right?" ”

I suddenly stopped crying and looked at her with tears in my eyes, knowing what she meant.

Xiyun looked at the two of us who were looking at each other, and their faces changed, and they ran out, I knew that she was going to invite the emperor to come over, and quickly stopped her: "Xiyun! You stop! ”

Her body stopped a few steps away from the temple gate, and only after half a ring did she turn to me, pointed to Yulan on the side, and said to me with tears in her eyes: "Song Liu, you can't do this, do you still want to apologize for this ruthless woman?" Even if you owe her, it's already paid off these days! ”

I ignored Xiyun's words, only looked at the outside of the hall, and said softly, "Yulan, you go!" My sister owes you, and I finally paid it off today! ”

She finally opened her mouth, but she just laughed, and the sound filled the entire Qifeng Palace hall. After a long time, he lifted the lotus foot and moved out step by step.

Xiyun grabbed my wrist and sobbed hysterically, "No one can afford to murder the prince, Song Liu!" ”

I smiled bitterly, feeling even more bitter in my heart, "This time, I finally feel that I don't owe her anymore!" Xiyun, you get out of here quickly, or I'll get you involved later. ”

She just kept shaking her head, "I want to report to the emperor, this matter has nothing to do with you!" ”

"No need!" I said to her very calmly, "Even if you report to the emperor, it's useless, little prince, I killed you!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Han Xiaoyang, with the support of his grandmother, hurriedly walked into the hall, looking at the child I was holding in his hand, his face changed greatly, and his eyes were full of anger. quickly stepped forward to take the child back from my hands, "Concubine Chen, who asked you to move the child of the palace!" ”

I stared at Han Xiaoyang and slowly knelt down, "The concubine is guilty!" Then he leaned down and bowed his head.

At this time, she was stunned by my current behavior, and took two steps back.

But after a while, she suddenly panicked and said: "What's the matter with the little prince, the children of this palace... Children of Hongu..."

"!" The grandmother on the side screamed miserably, and her voice was shocked, "Your Royal Highness.. Your Highness... He... He's dead..."

Suddenly, there was a dull sound of falling to the ground on the ground, and when I looked up, Han Xiaoyang had already fainted and fell to the ground, still holding the child in his hands.

At that moment, I experienced the grief of a mother.

The minions outside the hall rushed into the hall one after another, surrounding Han Xiaoyang who was lying on the ground, and shouted: "The queen mother... The Queen..."
